Hey man, sounds good. Do you have headers or are those stock headers? Is the Borla exhaust system from the cat back or just the mufflers?

The borla is an axle-back, so really, you're just getting the muffler section

I am still running stock headers and converters. I have not really looked into aftermarket headers yet. From what I hear there are quite a few of them cracking. The 3 resonators were removed and the X-piece was put in place. The Borla is just a rear-section which I bought new for $550. The stainless X-section was $79 from Jegs. The muffler shop charged me $100 to do the piping to the axle-back. I am going to be re-doing the center section now that I have it how I want it to sound. I am going to have my friend make it out of stainless so that the whole system is stainless. Right now the center section is aluminized.

At first when I had removed the resonators, the shop had made the exhaust into a true dual system, without an X or an H section. DO NOT do that unless you want your car to sound like a truck with glasspacks. It was horrible. I am finally happy with the results.
